Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) was suggested to play an important role in lipid and glucose metabolism in rodents and possibly also in humans. In the current study, we used genetic and correlation analyses in the BXH/HXB recombinant inbred (RI) strains, derived from Brown Norway (BN) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), to identify genetic determinants of BAT function and its role in the pathogenesis of metabolic disturbances. Linkage analyses revealed significant quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with interscapular BAT mass in the vicinity of the Cd36 (fatty acid translocase) gene on chromosome 4. Additional two closely linked QTL asociated with glucose oxidation and incorporation into BAT lipids were detected near the Wars2 (tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) candidate gene on chromosome 2.

Project description:The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) is the most widely used model of essential hypertension and is predisposed to left ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, and metabolic disturbances. Recently, a quantitative trait locus (QTL) influencing blood pressure, left ventricular mass and heart interstitial fibrosis was genetically isolated within 788 kb on chromosome 8 segment of SHR-PD5 congenic strain that contains only 7 genes, including mutant Plzf (promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger) gene. To identify Plzf as a quantitative trait gene, we targeted Plzf in the SHR using the TALEN technique and obtained SHR line harboring mutant Plzf gene with a premature stop codon at position of amino acid 58. The Plzf mutant allele is semi-lethal since approximately 95% of newborn homozygous animals die perinatally due to multiple developmental abnormalities. Heterozygous rats were grossly normal and were used for metabolic and hemodynamic analyses. SHR-Plzf+/- heterozygotes versus SHR wild type controls exhibited reduced body weight and relative weight of epididymal fat, lower serum and liver triglycerides and cholesterol and better glucose tolerance. In addition, SHR-Plzf+/- rats exhibited significantly increased sensitivity of adipose and muscle tissue to insulin action when compared to wild type controls. Blood pressure was comparable in SHR versus SHR-Plzf+/-, however, there was significant amelioration of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis in SHR-Plzf+/- rats. Gene expression profiles in the liver and expression of selected genes in the heart revealed differentially expressed genes playing a role in metabolic pathways, PPAR signaling, and cell cycle regulation. These results provide evidence for an important role of Plzf in regulation of metabolic and cardiac traits in the rat and suggest a cross-talk between cell cycle regulators, metabolism, cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis.

Project description:Inflammation, oxidative and dicarbonyl stress play important roles in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes. Metformin is the first-line drug of choice for the treatment of type 2 diabetes because it effectively suppresses gluconeogenesis in the liver, however, its “pleiotropic“ effects remain controversial. In the current study, we tested the effects of metformin on inflammation, oxidative and dicarbonyl stress in an animal model of inflammation and metabolic syndrome, the spontaneously hypertensive rat transgenically expressing human C-reactive protein (SHR-CRP). In the SHR-CRP transgenic strain, we found that metformin treatment decreased circulating levels of inflammatory response marker IL6 while levels of human CRP remained unchanged and metformin also significantly reduced oxidative stress (levels of conjugated dienes and TBARS) in the liver while no significant effects were observed in SHR control rats. In addition, in the presence of high human CRP, metformin reduced methylglyoxal levels in left ventricles but not in kidneys. Finally, metformin treatment reduced adipose tissue lipolysis. Possible molecular mechanisms of metformin action studied by gene expression profiling in the liver revealed deregulated genes from inflammatory, insulin signaling, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling and gluconeogenesis pathways. It can be concluded that in the presence of high levels of human CRP metformin protects against inflammation, oxidative and dicarbonyl stress in the heart and ameliorates insulin resistance and dyslipidemia.

Project description:Metabolic syndrome is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. Salsalate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that reduces levels of inflammatory mediators. In the current study, we tested the effects of salsalate on inflammation, oxidative stress and metabolic disturbances in an animal model of inflammation and metabolic syndrome, using spontaneously hypertensive rats that transgenically express human C-reactive protein (SHR-CRP). We treated 15-month-old male transgenic SHR-CRP rats with salsalate (200 mg/kg/day) mixed as part of a standard diet for 4 weeks. A corresponding untreated control group of male transgenic SHR-CRP rats were fed a standard diet without salsalate. In a similar fashion, we studied a group of nontransgenic SHR treated with salsalate and an untreated group of nontransgenic SHR controls. Parameters of inflammation and glucose and lipid metabolism were measured using standard methods. Statistical significance was evaluated by two-way ANOVA. In the SHR-CRP transgenic strain, we found that salsalate treatment decreased circulating levels of inflammatory markers TNFï¡ and MCP-1 and levels of human CRP as well as reduced levels of lipopreroxidation products in the liver and kidney cortex. Lipidomics analysis of eicosanoids confirmed anti-inflammatory effects of salsalate. Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress were associated with increased sensitivity of skeletal muscles to insulin action and greater tolerance to glucose and with reduced glucose oxidation and incorporation in brown adipose tissue (BAT). In SHR controls with no CRP-induced inflammation, salsalate treatment was associated with reduced body weight, lower levels of serum free fatty acids, total and HDL cholesterol and increased palmitate oxidation and incorporation in BAT. Salsalate regulated lipid metabolism by affecting expression of genes from PPAR signaling pathways and inflammation by affecting expression from MAPK signaling and NOD-like receptor signaling pathways. In summary, in the presence of high levels of human CRP, salsalate reduced inflammation which was associated with reduced oxidative stress and amelioration of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and glucose intolerance while in non-transgenic SHR rats, salsalate ameliorated dyslipidemia and activated BAT. Thus it is possible that amelioration of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in SHR-CRP rats treated with salsalate is due to reduced inflammation while amelioration of dyslipidemia in SHR rats treated with salsalate is due to activation of BAT. These findings suggest that salsalate has metabolic effects beyond suppressing inflammation.

Project description:Inflammation and oxidative stress have been implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic disturbances. Esters of fumaric acid, mainly dimethyl fumarate (DMF), exhibit immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidative effects. In the current study, we tested the hypothesis that fumaric acid ester treatment of an animal model of inflammation and metabolic syndrome, the spontaneously hypertensive rat transgenically expressing human C-reactive protein (SHR-CRP), will ameliorate inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic disturbances.

Project description:The study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of Jianxin (JX) granules, a Traditional Chinese Medicine formulation, in the treatment of heart failure (HF) using metabolomic profiling. The HF model was established by ligation of left coronary artery. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into three groups: the model group, the JX granules group, and Sacubitril/Valsartan (S/V) group. Four weeks after treatment, LV tissue samples were collected. Proteomics was used to identify the differentially expressed proteins and potential pathways. The differential expressed proteins (DEPs) were obtained with Tandem Mass Tags approach. As compared to the control group, 150 DEPs were identified in model rats, comprising 112 up-regulated and 38 down-regulated proteins. Notably, in the JX granules group, 25 DEPs were identified compared to the model rats, encompassing 18 up-regulated and 7 down-regulated proteins. In comparison with the control group, 228 DEPs in the JX granules group were obtained, which comprised of 128 up-regulated and 100 down-regulated proteins. As compared with the control group, BP in the model group was mainly enriched in humoral immune response, positive regulation of apoptotic cell clearance, and the response to metal ions; Meanwhile, CC was mainly related to contractile and stress fibers, actin filaments, and extracellular space; MF was mainly enriched in the serine-type peptidase activity, actin binding, and peptidase activity. Furthermore, DEPs indicated by KEGG analysis were primarily linked to pathways such as the complement and coagulation cascades, regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, and adrenergic signaling. In contrast to the model group, BP in JX granules group was primarily associated with processes involving nucleosome organization, chromatin assembly or disassembly, DNA conformation change and small molecule catabolic processes; CC was primarily related to the protein-DNA complex, mitochondrion, intracellular, nucleosome, cytoplasm; MF displayed significant enrichment in protein dimerization and homodimerization activity, catalase activity, chromatin and nucleosomal DNA binding. Considering KEGG enrichment information, DEPs in the JX granules group were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways and ribosome pathway. The key differential genes, such as triosephosphate isomerase 1 (TPI1), lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB), pyruvate kinase M (PKM), protein kinase B (Akt), and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) were identified. The vital pathways including carbon metabolism, the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, pyruvate metabolism, and HIF-1α signaling pathway were obtained.
